Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Two hours after he had left the meeting Allen had taken the inner city train line to his next appointment. The new elecetric inter urban had opened the year before into what had once been part of the Manchu city. Now it was the industrial district, built up by the infl;ux of of money...

His attention lifted from the note as the Texan spoke up, "That from Louie?" He questioned, as Allen recognized he should have been looking at other time tables...mostly for new automotive engines larger more powerful V8 and Edsel's V12. There were a lot of talks going on about such things...
The simple answer is railways... and yes the biggest issue with Chinese administration is that in this period is that infrastructure both in material and manpower had been neglected for so long that there were provinces that had degenerated to the point where some counties in Sichuan were...

The 10th Division of the Army had reached strength on schedule for the summer drill... it was just that the drill the previous year had started a little earlier than originally laid out. Right now they were herewith 1st. The active portions of the 5th were currently on the border with...
The Rif war was ongoing in 1926 and fighting in the Russian Civil Wars would exist until 1928, the warlord years in China are still ongoing even after Chiang 'unifies' the republic, Latin America and Mexico are both having stuff and things going on
That's one that we should be seeing more of is socially English conspiracies were a popular fear of the time because of London / the British empire s hitherto dominant capital financial position
Germany and France both also got hit with this to a lesser extent due to cultural stigma / inertia

The holiday season had passed and despite the shuffle in King George's government things hadn't changed much. Percy, and Alston had remained in China bringing a needed stability to the diplomatic community given everything that was going. There had been considerations for Alston to...
October 1923
Outside it was a relatively chill day, over cast and barely fifty according to the mercury. A fine day for inside and hot coffee... especially since it had looked like it was going to pour as ;he had come in from the run with 1stBattalion. The dark mahogany table was crowded with...
September 1923
The drill was in good order. Impressive, and perhaps unnecessary but practice, practice, practice. Allen watched James as the Chinese General gave the order to move forward via radio. Men in cupolas relayed orders via hand signs to their squadron. Staff Officers were watching with...
So the Crockett is a Terran Hegemony Training 'mech (leaving aside that its an assault mech, and the weapons it carries /bt logic) the company found more of them at Dieron but they were also present at Northwind. As for unit structure yes nominally the company has sub commands under Gene, but...

The Earthquake in Japan had caused a firestorm. Literally. It had come in at lunch time after all, put sky scraping waves into the coast with untold devasation. They hadn't had all the fires out until Monday morning... and if one were superstitious the typhoon off the coast sure...
Yes, mostly because Manchuria which is in a similar situation would also be fiscally healthy if Zhang Tso-lin would stop trying to take over the entire north. (Right now Manchuria is also in the green money wise despite what Zhang is spending on his military)
Fiscally speaking the 1915-1917...
August 1923
Jun's efforts to prepare for the mid autumn festival were conspicuous this year... more so than usual given all the fuss and ruckus going about. Maybe that was even the point. The lower house had reiterated, rather unnecessarily given precedent, that train robbery was a felonious...
